Vegan Holiday Nog (with Coconut Milk!)
Eggnog gets a vegan makeover! Cashews and coconut milk blend up rich and creamy with a touch of spice to create this vegan holiday nog.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashew nuts raw
- 1 cup water boiling hot
- 1 ½ cups almond milk unsweetened
- 1 cup coconut milk canned, full-fat
- 4 to 6 Medjool dates pitted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp cloves ground
- ⅛ tsp salt
- rum optional
- clove for garnish, whole
Instructions
- In a small bowl, soak the raw cashews in the boiling hot water for at least 30 minutes. (Be careful!) Drain.
- Pour the soaked cashews, almond and coconut milks, dates, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and salt into a high-speed blender and blend until creamy. You can strain it through cheesecloth if you like, but I love how creamy this drink is and didn’t bother straining.
- Serve cold with rum (if you like!) and garnish with whole cloves.
Notes
- This can easily be made the night before and left in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it!
